ethanhawke: "Todd" & "Knox" from DEAD POETS SOCIETY are now PhDs in THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. It's quite an honor.
Thank you@taylorswift for the opportunity to be in the music video for your song FORTNIGHT feat. @postmalone.
carpe diem!
mrjoshcharles: l've admired Taylor for a long time, but meeting her in person took my fandom to a whole new level. Genuine, kind, approachable, and just an all around stellar human being - Not to mention a kick ass director to boot! #TSTTPD
Unttld 'Victor Ruffle Waxed Denim Jacket' - no longer available
There's so much to dissect in Tortured Poets and beyond into the new visuals for the "Fortnight" music video. Those thoughts, of course, to come. But off the top it feels apt to note the striking modernization of Victorian fashion on display with this piece, particularly of poet Emily Dickinson (Taylor's distant cousin - genealogy is wild). While Dickinson herself wore a lot of white (which as we've seen is TTPD's assigned eras colour), there's something to be said here about the similarity it strikes with the custom Teuta Matoshi dresses her backup dancers wear during "my tears ricochet" on the Eras Tour as they march behind her in a funeral procession. Equally, it calls to mind the somber wear of Victorian mourning clothes - widows would often wear black for two years.
This particular piece comes from Unttld's Fall 2021 collection, noted by the designer as a fulfillment of "19th century fantasy".
